A wide-eyed sister missionary arrives in Austria to begin her 18-month-long mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Despite having to make a few cultural adjustments, Sister Taylor meets every challenge with optimism. Her enthusiasm to share the Gospel makes her indomitable, until she finds herself with an abrasive companion whom she doesn't understand and doesn't particularly like. This challenge, along with the ordinary vicissitudes of missionary life begin to wear on her, and thus in the process of sharing the Gospel, Sister Taylor finds herself gaining a better understanding of its key precepts: faith, repentance, forgiveness, and charity.

| Spectrum (St. George, Utah)Bruce BennettWhat this video scrapbook lacks in storytelling it makes up for in earnestness and a willingness to show the trials as well as the quiet triumphs of missionary life. |
| User ReviewMary WCan't believe how much this movie brought me back to my mission and working with different companions. I loved it! |
| User ReviewDavid ZKind of like "The Best Two Years" from the sister missionary point-of-view - I guess you could call it "The Best Eighteen Months" - it's an honest portrayal of missionary life - warts and all. (I pretty much lived the same experience of getting along with a difficult companion.) Erin Chambers is great in the lead role. |
| User ReviewMelissa CThis is the first decent Mormon movie in a long time. The focus on the relationship with companions on the mission makes it great . . . and more realistic (or so I hear). |
| User ReviewDavey MAfter "New York Doll" and Richard Dutcher's films, this is probably the best theatrical feature made by Mormons about Mormons. It's not a great film--I could have done without the voice over, and some other moments that felt a bit church video-ey--but overall it's a sweet, sincere, low-key movie about missionary work, with good performances and real characters, a nice low-budget independent-international aesthetic, and a few moments of quiet spirituality that are quite lovely. It's nice to see a movie about missionary work that acknowledges that the greatest lesson a religion mission can teach (in my opinion, as someone who admittedly has not had first-hand experience) is that the most important thing you can do is learn to love others in spite of and because of their differences--differences perceived and actual, in belief, in personality, in personal preferences, race, socioeconomic standing, whatever. |
| User ReviewNathan AGood for an LDS film. About time they made one about Sister Missionaries...it is 2008!! Relatable! |
